WIS 2012: Back to the Future II - Draft and Season Thread (1 Viewer)

[RnR]

Starting to like my team, so I'm pretty much guaranteed crippling injuries.

Bottom 5 at this point, IMO.

Don't be bitter, guy.

If we were in an Arizona Diambondback league, you'd move to the upper half of the league.

 

[Spartans Rule]

10.5 Josh Willingham, OF

That time of draft where I'm going to hate my pick no matter who it is.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Well, I guess I've earned a lot of haters. So be it.

Good pick. #homer

 

[Eephus]

You know anybody can update the Google Doc

 

[Spartans Rule]

Possible batting order:

1. CF Peter Bourjos

2. RF Josh Willingham

3. 1B Prince Fielder

4. 2B Dan Uggla

5. CA Matt Wieters

6. SS Jhonny Peralta

7. LF Someone bad

8. 3B Someone worse

Rotation:

1. Felix Hernandez

2. Jaime Garcia

3. Wandy Rodriguez

4. R.A. Dickey

5. Someone bad

Offense should hit a ton of homers and strikeout a ton. Starting pitching should be decent. Fielding is shaky but could be worse.

I think I like it. Hard to say.

Be honest, you can barely track your own team, let alone the league.

Yeah, he's guaranteed to throw 200 IP. Edit: Granted his numbers were much better last year than I would have guessed after looking.My picks are still horrible of course.

He's been pretty effective in real life the last two years. Although I will admit there was a pretty big fight between the mathematical part of my brain and the part that said "Seriously? RA Dickey?"

 

[Northern Voice]

Sorry, boss and bosses boss here all day today. I'll make up picks at some point tonight

 

[Bogart]

10.7? - jarrod saltalamacchia - c

This is the year, right?

 

[oso diablo]

i'm sure this is a bit early, but i have nightmares of being stuck with a 650 OPS shortstop with c/c defense. though maybe that's what i'm getting here anyway...

10.08 Zack Cozart - SS

from the town where i live, and the high school my kids would go to

Thanks Doug.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Make-up picks:

9.21: Alejandro De Aza, OF

10.4: Jeff Francouer, OF

Considered both (and Melky) but decided I was willing to sacrifice some glove for more bat, which is a stupid thing I do all the time that ruins a lot of my SIM teams.

I make a policy of not tracking anything. Not even sure how many players I have right now. When you have a keen eye for the talent pool, no tracking is necessary. It all comes together with gut instinct and know-how.

bud norris trophy winner? this will begin my astro run, what could go wrong?

 

[jfranco77]

For SoCal:

9.24 Adam Dunn, 1B

10.01 Daniel Murphy, OF

Daniel Murphy is more of a 1B/2B guy... plays for the Mets.David Murphy is an outfielder... plays for Texas.

Just making sure SOCAL has the right one

 

[Northern Voice]

10.12 Alex Rios, OF, bad baseball player, worse person but decent numbers in even years...

This is on me. His txt said Daniel. So I'd assume he knew better than me.

[Bogart]

Pretty sure Euph lives like 8 time zones away so I'll hold off a bit.

But he gets up at 3am to do old man stuff, so it's about even.

I thought he was going to be so good...

 

[cheese]

I feel so happy to have 2B, SS, C, and 4 of 5 SP spots filled already. Pickins getting slim dere.

I still see plenty of decent options at C and SP. Agree with you on middle infield and I'm not excited about what's left for my LF.

 

[Doug B]

Thanks Doug.

De nada
